PRECISION PLUMBING MELBOURNE

Melbourne Gas Fitters

Many of us rely on natural gas for our day-to-day activities, including cooking food, heating water and keeping our homes warm. Gas systems can have cheaper running costs than coal-fired electricity systems and also tend to produce lower emissions, making them more energy-efficient.

If your home or business is powered in any part by gas, you may at some point require the services of a gas fitter or plumber. Gas fitting services may include the installation of gas appliances and systems, general repair and maintenance work, and the detection and repair of gas leaks.

Precision Plumbing proudly provides this service across all areas of Melbourne, with a focus on the Northern Suburbs, including Diamond Creek, Greensborough, Eltham, Montmorency, Kingsbury, Mernda, Doreen, Macleod, Heidelberg, Watsonia, Thomastown, Yarrambat, Yallambie, Bundoora, Warrandyte, Mill Park, Plenty, Research, Rosanna & Preston.

What Do Gas Fitters and Gas Plumbers Do?

Gas fitters are often referred to as gas plumbers. However, a gas fitting service is different to general plumbing. Gas fitting and plumbing are separate trades with their own required qualifications and training.

Both trades involve work with pipes, but the specifics and safety risks vary. Plumbers deal with water, whereas gas fitters handle natural gas or propane, a highly combustible and potentially dangerous substance.

In Australia, all gas-related work, including maintenance and repairs, must be undertaken by a fully licensed gas fitter. Not all general plumbers are trained in gas fitting, and not all gas fitters are also general plumbers.

Gas Leak Detection

Precision Plumbing offers a range of gas fitting services, including general installation, connection, repair and maintenance work. We also offer urgent or emergency detection and assistance for gas leaks.

Gas leaks typically involve the leaking of natural gas from a pipe or other containment into an area where the gas shouldn’t go. These leaks can be hazardous for people, animals, plants and the environment.

If you smell gas around your home or business or have received unusually high gas bills, this may be a sign you have a gas leak. They can occur at any time, including late at night or in the early morning hours.

With our 24/7 emergency plumbing service, you can rest assured that a fully licensed, highly trained and friendly gas fitter will be available to assess the affected area, find the gas leak and repair any damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is gas fitting?
Gas fitting involves the installation, connection, maintenance and repair of a wide variety of gas systems, appliances, pipes, lines and works. Gas fitters undertake a wide range of tasks, including connecting homes and businesses to their local gas lines, addressing issues with hot water and heating systems and finding and fixing gas leaks.
Who are gas fitters/plumbers?
In Australia, gas fitters are professional tradespeople who require specific licenses, insurance and training to work with natural gas and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). They must also have knowledge of and ensure compliance with national safety standards for gas systems. It’s important to hire a licensed and experienced gas fitter for any gas-related work.
How do you know if your home or business has a gas leak?
There are a number of signs you may have a gas leak. We recommend seeking out professional assistance if you have noticed one or more of the following: unusually expensive gas bills; gas appliances or systems that aren’t working or heating up efficiently; or the smell of gas, which has a whiff of rotten eggs. Gas leaks can be dangerous, so always seek out a licensed gas fitter and do not attempt to fix them yourself.
